EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the serene beauty of a sunset over the Indian Ocean in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka, this print by CM Dixon transports us to a time in the 20th century. The artist skillfully portrays the vibrant colors and atmospheric ambiance that make this coastal scene truly captivating. Sri Lanka, known for its abundant fishing opportunities as an island nestled in the Indian Ocean, is showcased here at one of its most picturesque locations - Hikkaduwa Beach. However, beneath its tranquil surface lies a reminder of nature's power. In 2004, this area was devastated by a tsunami triggered by the catastrophic Indian Ocean earthquake. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the breathtaking natural beauty but also of how fragile our world can be. The concept of time is evident as dusk settles in and evening approaches; it serves as a poignant metaphor for life's fleeting moments. The vastness of the ocean stretching towards the horizon reminds us of our place within the solar system and highlights Sri Lanka's geographical significance. This photograph invites contemplation on science, astronomy, geography - disciplines that explore our planet's wonders. Through CM Dixon's lens and artistic vision, we are transported to Hikkaduwa during a moment when nature reveals both its splendor and destructive potential. Let us appreciate this snapshot from history while acknowledging that such images hold valuable lessons about resilience and respect for our environment.
